Chapter Ninety-Three: Shunping Tea House I
Hecheng County as the county of Hecheng County, and the capital of Liang Guoguo, is naturally prosperous, Liang State has been inherited for more than 200 years, there is always some heritage, from a county state to today's fifty-eight county sub-country, the history books of Liang State are not lacking in the Ming Jun Xianjue.
With a population of more than 400,000, a large county of this size is still a high-class county among the top counties even if it is placed among overlords like Chu Zhao.
And the geographical location of Liang is also important, although it is long and narrow, it is the essence of the entire Shouyan Mountain Road, otherwise it would be impossible to feed so many bandits and bandits.
Prosperity means that the life of the people is okay, and it also means that there will be many people who can't survive to try their luck.
The capital of a country is bound to be prosperous, but there is also bound to be poverty and misfortune that fill the corners.
The teahouse restaurant on the street, Goolan Washer suddenly had more exciting news, which attracted almost everyone to discuss.
Shunping Tea House is a century-old brand in Hecheng County, and it is also the largest teahouse in Hecheng County.
The third floor has a separate quiet room, the second floor has a separate private room, and the first floor is full of tables, which is also the place where people are most buzzing.
Shunping Tea House covers a large area, there are a lot of people in Tiannan and Haibei who settle in this place, some people have said that as long as it is the news of Hecheng, and even the major news of Liang Guo, as long as you sit on the first floor of Shunping Tea House, you can hear it in a cup of tea.
There is really no element of bragging, at least the news of Hecheng County is absolutely timely.
Some of the porters were shirtless, with a short scarf around their necks, and the original white could be vaguely seen, some squatted on the stool, and some sat diagonally, with their feet on the stool, holding the tea bowl in one hand, listening to their companions' babbling, taking a big sip from time to time and then spitting out the tea foam.
"I said Lao Bashi, where did you hear the news?" A man put down the tea bowl after spitting out the tea foam in his mouth, stretched his head forward slightly like a turtle, and asked with a disdainful expression.
Lao Bashi's surname is Shi Pai Khan Lao Ba, so he is called Lao Bashi, which is an authentic news basket in the Shunping Teahouse, and he likes to sell news on weekdays, and some people who are three religions and nine streams know him.
Seeing that the man's expression was obviously wrong at the moment, Lao Bashi felt that his authority had been provoked, so he put down the bowl heavily at the moment, and said loudly with a displeased face: "My Shi Bashi's news naturally has a way to come, and we also have friends who can drink wine in the yamen of Hecheng County, what's the matter?" Can you Li Mutou know more than I know? ”
"Who knows more in this teahouse than we Shiba?" Lao Shiba's face was not angry, and he pointed to the top and suddenly shouted, quite a heroic posture.
This situation suddenly attracted the attention of the people nearby, and the person who was called Li Mutou snorted coldly again, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and the corner of his eyes skimmed to Lao Shiba's face to be even more ugly before he put down the tea bowl and said leisurely: "We know that you Lao Shiba has a lot of news, but this time your news is not complete!" ”
Lao Shiba was about to jump up like a cat with his tail stepped on, but he was raised and pressed by his companion who had expected it.
"Old Shiba, don't worry, listen to what Lao Li has to say."
Li Mutou is a well-known carpenter in Hecheng County, and his wooden work is quite beautiful, and many dignitaries and nobles will ask him to play some gadgets, so Li Mutou's news is not low in this Shunping teahouse.
Carpenter Li smiled and continued: "The brother-in-law of Lord Taishou in Hecheng sent a housekeeper to call me to make a set of tables and chairs for his old man a few days ago, do you know? ”
The companion next to him immediately said: "I know, you were in this teahouse at that time, and you blew the cow with us more than ten times." ”
Carpenter Li was unimpressed and continued: "Last day was the last day, and I was carving the last chair, when I heard that Lord Taishou accompanied his wife back to his mother's house, and the two chatted while walking, and this was exactly what they said. ”
"Huh~"
Everyone was amazed, and even Lao Shiba was a little surprised.
Carpenter Li continued: "You know our old Li's ears, so there is absolutely no need to say it. ”
"Do you know who His Royal Highness the King of Jin is this time?"
"Who is it?"
The person next to him was also very cooperative, and immediately asked.
At this point, even the people in the nearby seats stopped talking and listened carefully.
"Hmph, let me tell you, that's the original His Royal Highness the Prince!"
"Whew~"
A long sigh listened to the comfort in Carpenter Li's heart.
"Do you know what the relationship between our Daliang and this King of Jin is?"
The prolific immediately followed: "What relationship? ”
Carpenter Li was secretly happy and didn't sell it at that time, but just lowered his voice and said: "Our princess of Daliang is the aunt of His Royal Highness King Jin, what is the relationship between you and your Highness?" ”
There was an exclamation all around.
Carpenter Li picked up the tea bowl and did not forget to glance at Lao Shiba provocatively, with undisguised pride in his eyes, but the latter did not look at him at this time, making Carpenter Li hope to pursue perfection and slightly felt a little regret.
"In this way, the son of our Daliang is still the uncle of this King of Jin!"
"Not really!"
There was a burst of pride in the crowd, and the focus of the entire floor was now on Carpenter Li's table, and even many people gathered around.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the old man has another piece of news!"
Carpenter Li's face was colorful, and even the old man's self-title was used, which would not have been ridiculed if he was usually ridiculed, but now no one paid attention to this kind of pretending elegance, and many people were urging urgently.
"Carpenter Li, just say it quickly, don't hang our appetite!"
And in a corner of the first floor, a young woman with a veil covered her mouth and smiled and whispered to the young man opposite: "Your Highness, this person is quite interesting!"
The man and woman at this table are Guan Cheng and Cao Ling'er who came out of Weifu.
If someone who is careful pays a little attention, they can find the difference here, the two tables next to them are all big men and don't say a word, and the people in the military can see the dust on these people at a glance!
And in the hall, there are three more tables of such people scattered around.
Shunping Tea House in the three sects and nine streams of what kind of people come, people are used to it, and come here to drink tea, on the first floor are almost the same, who is stronger than whom, but anyone with a little identity will not be here, there is a private room on the second floor.
Guan Cheng took another sip of tea, still frowning slightly: "This tea is far worse than Ling'er's for Gu."
Cao Ling'er gave Guan Cheng a white eye that was self-indulgent and emotional.
The two flirted in a corner that others couldn't see, enjoying the youthful ambiguity.
And Carpenter Li in the center of the first floor also enjoyed his highlight moment and full of attention.
"This His Royal Highness the King of Jin was still the Prince of Datong less than a month ago!"
Carpenter Li bit the word prince very hard, and the words fell, and the fallen leaves on the entire first floor could be heard, and there were so many windows in the private room on the second floor that were opened to look at it.
Everyone still knows that the Liang State is only a vassal state, and the emperor of Datong is the co-lord of the world.
It's just that the concept of Chase has gradually weakened in people's hearts over the years, especially for those who are locked internally, and few princes are willing to re-emerge the prestige of the Chase Room.
The people of the country don't have so much thought, they only know that whether it is the king of Jin or the prince, they are all extremely noble people, and the prince is a nobleman in the sky, and the future co-lord of the world.
"Prince? Wouldn't that be the future emperor? After a long time, I didn't know who was weak enough to ask this.
Someone next to him immediately sighed: "What can I say!" That's the emperor, even the heads of countries such as Zhou have to kowtow respectfully when they see it. That's the future co-lord of the world! ”
"So, this is the future emperor conscripting?" One person asked.
The voice suddenly pulled most people's thoughts back.
"No wonder you are so generous, you give 300 a month, and you also give 1,000 yuan to do what settling-in expenses!"
"My good man, a thousand dollars, enough to drink a big bowl of tea here for ten years!"
"That's it, this soldier has always been recruited by the old man, and the money has also been given, at most you will be given 200 yuan of life money, and if you win, you will be given some rewards, this prince is really generous!"
"Three hundred dollars a month, isn't this much more cost-effective than farming and buying vegetables?" There was a shrewd person's eyes that lit up instantly, and he asked loudly.
Someone said disdainfully: "Giving you this money, can you give up your wife and children to go to Yong'an City to be a soldier?" How long will it take you to come back? Ten years, eight years? When you come back, will your mother-in-law still be there? ”
"I heard that this time it's not a conscription, it's a recruitment, it's a standing soldier!"
"Standing soldiers? Then I'm not going! The shrewd man immediately shook his head like a rattle, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
"If you don't go, I want to go!"
The person who spoke was this famous scoundrel Splash Skin, and as soon as his words came out, he caused a burst of sideways eyes.
Lao Shiba said on the spot: "Wu Da, you have to hide from the guards for three months and break your leg, can you follow the prince to be a permanent soldier?"
Wu laughed and said: "Who will be a permanent soldier of Lao Shizi, my Wu Da's life will be a big thing in the future, and I can go to be a permanent soldier and send him to death?"
Carpenter Li was not willing to get up and asked, "Then you go to sign up?"
Wu Da looked like a wise man and nodded at everyone and said, "His prince recruited his soldiers, why not let us play with him and then take our money?"
Why not, many people secretly despise it in their hearts, and they think it's some kind of idea.
That's it?
"Wu Da, I advise you to stop thinking about it, but it is written on the notice, if you take the money, you will join the army, and you must be bound by military law, no matter which country the deserter is, it is a matter of losing your head, you don't have to joke with your own life, and no one will collect your body when you die."
Wu Da said: "Our grandfather is the grandfather of Liang State, isn't he the king of Jin, the king of Jin Kingdom, our Liang Kingdom cut off the heads of our grandfathers?" When the time comes, let's take the money and run, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that he can send people to send people to issue sea fishing documents in Daliang? ”
Wu Da picked up the bowl and drank it and said proudly: "Grandma!"
Silly fork!
"There's the national seal of our big beam on it!" Someone in the crowd immediately spoke.
Wu Dayi's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and if he stamped the national seal, it was not a joke, it would really kill someone.
"This King of Jin actually calculates our masters, he has so much money, what's wrong with Lao Tzu just taking a thousand dollars, this kind of stinginess can't make a big deal!"
Everyone's faces changed slightly, and they were also a little speechless, there are always people who can be so strange that God is red when he sees it.
"Wait!"
"Isn't it King Jin? Why is it the prince again? ”
